CSBS is pleased to announce the establishment of the Social and Behavioral Science Impact (SBSI) Award. This award recognizes faculty members whose research in the social and behavioral sciences holds promise for addressing societal challenges—for example, inequality, misinformation, and substance use. With the understanding that there are many forms of excellence, awardees’ research should demonstrate conceptual and methodological excellence.
All tenure-track faculty members on our campus conducting social and behavioral science research are eligible for the award. Up to two awards will be given each year, with at least one devoted to acknowledging the work of Assistant or Associate Professors. Candidates must be nominated by a faculty member at the University of Illinois. Nominations are due November 1, 2024.
